ABSTRACT:
A miniature spring socket having a plastic housing containing the contact which comprises a pair of facing beam-like spring contacts which receive a terminal post therebetween. The plastic housing has slots behind the beam-like contacts to permit such beam-like contacts to be deflected back into such slots, and thereby accommodating terminal posts having large variations of diameters. The two beam-like contacts are secured to a ring-like base to which a third leg is also secured. Such third leg is bent over the rim of the housing and extends down the outside of the housing beyond the end thereof to form a tab which can be soldered to a conductive pad on the bottom side of the printed circuit board in which the mini-spring socket is installed.
